Interested in #microbiology, #genomics, #foodsafety, #AntimicrobialResistance and #poultry? Come join us at
SurreyVet and APHAgovuk on a #PhDstudentship with Gianni Lo Iacono, Jai Mehat & John Rodgers from APHA.

The project aims to assess the contribution of fluoroquinolone residues in rivers to the occurrence of fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacters in the environment, wild birds and in poultry.

Here's the link to the original Consumer Reports article that says which herbs & spices are tainted with heavy metals:

https://www.consumerreports.org/food-safety/your-herbs-and-spices-might-contain-arsenic-cadmium-and-lead/

"Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium and lead have been found in a third of herbs and spices tested by Consumer Reports." #walmart

I’ve always thought that, in the event of a nuclear apocalypse, the Earth will be populated solely by cockroaches, those Styrofoam hamburger containers that fast-food joints used in the 1980s, and fruitcakes. Since this is the season for loved ones to inflict fruitcakes on one another, I decided to get to the bottom of this mystery: will #fruitcake really last forever? Yet again, science can answer this #Christmas #FoodSafety query!

If eating raw eggs can make us sick, and eggnog has eggs in it, then why is it safe to drink #eggnog? And can I leave spiked eggnog out on the counter? These are great #holiday #FoodSafety questions. And science has answers. #Christmas #microbiology

This week will be #Thanksgiving in the U.S. -- a celebration marked largely by friends and family gathering together for a meal.

I'm sharing a collection of #FoodSafety tips here so that you don't make your loved ones barf.

Good news: the information is clear and helpful.

Bad news: you have to hear my voice on the related videos. (I'm sorry in advance.)

Bon appetit!

It's the time of year when our thoughts turn to #Thanksgiving and preparing meals for loved ones. Here are a bunch of videos offering #FoodSafety tips to help you avoid making everyone barf.

The good news: the videos are evidence-based and share information clearly.

The bad news: you have to listen to my voice, since I'm in the videos. I am so sorry. #SciComm

Bon appetit!
